Process

Applied online and received a very prompt response within a couple of days to schedule a phone interview.

The phone interview was an hour long and consisted almost entirely of a series of coding questions that built off of each other and increased in difficulty.

The first couple of questions I received were LeetCode medium/easy, which I was able to solve within 20 minutes. The next question was much harder and more open-ended. I was only able to code a brute-force solution for this one. There were a couple of follow-up questions, for which I was able to provide verbal answers.

I was invited for a virtual on-site next. This consisted of a couple of 1-hour 15-minute interviews with two interviewers in each round. The first interview involved a LeetCode-style problem, while the second focused on object-oriented design. Neither required any particular 'trick' to solve. I was able to code an ugly but working solution to the first problem and only half a solution to the second one. I was dismissed rather rudely after a short break. I suppose they're only looking for people who can code flawlessly and clinically.
